A 34-year-old local was sentenced on Monday to six years and six months’ jail with three whippings after he was found guilty of a charge for possessing two self-made rifles at home without licence. Deputy Public Prosecutor Raihan Nabilah binti Ahmad Ghazali produced 10 witnesses in proving the case against Norfazilah bin Abdul Rahman beyond reasonable doubt.
Senior Magistrate Azrimah binti Abdul Rahman did not find any “plausible explanation” for possessing the rifles in Norfazilah’s defence throughout the trial.
Evidence and testimonies that led to the court’s decision revealed that the defendant was arrested at his residence in Jalan Kecil Birau, Tutong.
